Call For Senator Obama From Senator Clinton

Sure, it's Lanny Davis via the Huffington Post, but it may as well be Hillary. And while he asks two tough questions, he forgot a third that will also come from somewhere before Fall.

These two questions are:

1. If a white minister preached sermons to his congregation and had used the "N" word and used rhetoric and words similar to members of the KKK, would you support a Democratic presidential candidate who decided to continue to be a member of that congregation?

2. Would you support that candidate if, after knowing of or hearing those sermons, he or she still appointed that minister to serve on his or her "Religious Advisory Committee" of his or her presidential campaign?

The third being the one Jim Geraghty pointed out:

Can you imagine any circumstance in which you voluntarily and regularly take your children to listen to words that are "divisive," "racially charged," exposing them to "a view that sees the conflicts in the Middle East as rooted primarily in the actions of stalwart allies like Israel," and so on? Would you ever take your children to listen to a man call for God to damn America?

As a new dad, I can't imagine it.

Sorry, Barack. That's a bridge too far.

Wow. Speaking of senior moments...

[Fred Beloit]

Unintelligible knee-jerking by Moe. Are you saying, Moe, that Hillary would disagree with Davis?

[WAHOO WILLIE]

"Are you saying, Moe, that Hillary would disagree with Davis?"

No Fred, LLama is saying that she loves her "long legged Mack-daddy" no matter what anyone from anywhere says.

[templar knight]

Hey, Willie and Fred, how's it going? I've missed quite a bit lately as I've had to work extra hard, even if chris/Boob says I'm semi-retired. Not yet, Boob, but if a Democrat wins in the fall, I do believe I will sell out and retire.

[Rhod]

Whenever the Clintons need some repulsive, yammering fool to try out a boneheaded meme, they send out Davis.

The analogue to Wright using the N-Word is not a white minister who uses the N-Word; it's a white minister who uses the word "rube", "honkey", "hayseed", "redneck" or "Clem" to express a social grievance.

Davis is just to the left of Carville on the backwards evolutionary chart, so he was probably coached with this one. The Clintons need the fictional cohort of rubes, honkeys, hayseeds, Clems and rednecks, or so they think, so they deploy Davis as their willing pop-up target. What a jackass.

[IslamoLlama]

You will be genuinely missed, TK.

"-- Are you saying, Moe, that Hillary would disagree with Davis? --"

I'm saying that Dan seems unable to distinguish between speakers. Perhaps he could have titled his blurb "Call For Senator Obama From Lanny Davis" and had it make sense. Of course, when Lanny Davis spouts off at the HuffPo, no one particularly cares. But if he was mind-melding with Clinton when he did it... omg, teh newz!

As crazy as it sounds, sometimes - if you're name is Geraldine Ferraro for instance - you shoot your mouth off in support of your candidate, making statements that your candidate would never offically, or even unofficially, endorse.

I could go into great length about "free will" and "shooting one's mouth off" and "taking a wide stance in public restrooms", but I'm sure you GOoPers are all very familiar with these things, having mastered at least two of the three.

[BobInStamford]

While I realized that this blog is dedicated to B. Hussein Obama and some trashy drunk girl who went on spring break and never came back I would think that you patriots would be CELEBRATING your leader's VICTORY (his words) in Iraq.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/7305023.stm

Walmart shoppers can waddle through the aisles today with a little more pride knowing that they supported a VICTORY.

Once again, congratulations. Mission Accomplished!! And may the next 5 years of your war be as successful as the first.

Amen, patriots!

"By all accounts, George Bush had private conversations with Pat Robertson about matters as weighty as whether to invade Iraq. Isn't that a big scandal -- that the President is consulting with an American-hating minister -- someone who believes God allowed the 9/11 attacks as punishment for our evil country -- about vital foreign policy decisions? No, it wasn't controversial at all."

[Fred Beloit]

Harpo, do you agree with "God Damn America"?

[IslamoLlama]

Jharp, why do you hate Jesus? He died for your sins, so you could fund the genocide of hundreds of thousands of Iraq peasants and ordinary citizens. Why won't you open your heart and let him in? What's the matter? Caught a case of the gay?

[Fred Beloit]

Harpo, Obama said he never heard "controversial" remarks from Wright for 20 years. Yesterday, he said such comments caused him to wince or shrivel up or something like that, in the pews. Which statement is not a lie do you think?

[Fred Beloit]

Harpo, do you agree with this equation: Geraldine Ferraro's remark = Rev Wright's rant?

[Fred Beloit]

Harpo, what grade are you in?

[jharp]

"Harpo, do you agree with "God Damn America"?"

I agree with "God Dam the assholes running America".

Is that the same thing?

[Fred Beloit]

Llamo, which would you rather be, a pig or a propagandist? I know this is a toughie, but please answer to the best of your ability.
Then, which would you rather be, a Communist or a nihilist? another tough one. But hang in there.
Which would you rather be, illogical or heartless? Almost done now. Buck up.
Which would you rather be, an Obamaist, a terrorist, or a Clintonite?

Answer each of these without dissimulating, and I will reveal your essence to you. If you hedge and prevaricate, I'll just make sport of you.

[jharp]

"why do you hate Jesus?"

I don't hate Jesus. I do hate the phoniness of the current republicans hiding behind Jesus whilst the pillage our treasury and torture and kill middle easterners.

I am certain they don't believe the story of Jesus. It would be impossible to behave as such if you truly believed.

[jharp]

"Harpo, Obama said he never heard "controversial" remarks from Wright for 20 years. Yesterday, he said such comments caused him to wince or shrivel up or something like that, in the pews. Which statement is not a lie do you think?"

You, Fred are a fool.

That is one hell of a lie if it is a lie at all.

Right up there with the WMD lies, the Saddam al Qaeda connection lies, the Iraq was behind 911 lies.

You guys are out of your friggin minds. Do you see the mindless stupidity of what you are asking?

[jharp]

"Harpo, do you agree with this equation: Geraldine Ferraro's remark = Rev Wright's rant?"

Don't really care either way. I don't see any connection with the remarks that reflect either Senator Clinton or Senator Obama's ability to govern.

And policy wise I like them both.

[Fred Beloit]

Harpo, Harpo, Harpo. Stupid, rabid, and misinformed is no way to go through life.

"And policy wise I like them both." Fascinating. You must explain it to me sometime. I am sure you must be able to, though it seems insane on its face.
Oh, I think see, maybe. You mean you like the political preferences of each. But that is not what I asked, my poor deluded friend. I asked about their statements related to the issue under discussion. Why would I do that? My fault. I thought you could follow the discussion.

[Fred Beloit]

BTW, Moe must have gone to bed in her foxhole. Goodnight, my dear liberal warrior, wherever you may be. And good night to you, Harpo. Tell Chico and Groucho I asked about them. Honk honk.

[Terry Gain]

"whilst the pillage our treasury and torture and kill middle easterners"

harpo,

You are a stupid unconscionable ignorant liar. America is giving blood and treasure to fight Islamic extremists. In this endeavour they are supported by the vast majority of Iraqis and opposed by the vast majorty of "progressive" lefists whose only concern is attaining political power. And you don't give a damn how many innocent people stand in your way, and therefore must be sacrificed.

[WAHOO WILLIE]

"And you don't give a damn how many innocent people stand in your way, and therefore must be sacrificed."

Including Iraqis, Kenyans, Sudanese, Tibetans, Koreans, Chinese, Redneck coal miners, homeless veterans and most of all those soldiers doing the fighting. Speaking for myself, I would be more likely to side with you people on certain issues...If just ONCE you'd admit that you care about nothing, respect nothing but what big brother will give you.

[seekeronos]

Ah, Fred, Fred, Fred...

You heartless meanie you: You forgot poor ol' Zeppo.

[seekeronos]

And if I read the liberal calculus correctly, any negative thing Ferraro has to say about the Obama the Magic Mulatto automatically trumps the worst, vilest pile of racist vomit the Left Reverend Wright can spew up against Big Bad Whitey Gubmint that is ruining the planet and ... and ... and ...

...well, I'd say "hung from the nearest lamppost", but if they (being black supremacist "ministers" like Farrakhan, $harpton, Jack$on and Wright) managed to have all the honkies killed off, they'd be out of a meal ticket.

They might even have to get real jobs, the poor dears.

[jharp]

Terry Gain,

"America is giving blood and treasure."

Hard to argue with that. $12 billion a month, 4,000 dead, and 30,000 wounded.

"to fight Islamic extremists."

They weren't in Iraq. And according to our Generals they are a very small group today. Our invasion gave the extemists an opportunity beyond their wildest dreams.

"In this endeavour they are supported by the vast majority of Iraqis."

You have anything to back that up? I don't think so because it is false.

So you, my friend are either a liar or an idiot.

[Terry Gain]

""They weren't in Iraq."

Even if it were true, which it's not, it would be totally irrelevant to the fact they are there now and have been the focus of both the Anbar and Diyala Awakenings and the Surge - which have significantly reduced the violence over the past year.

The focus of the Surge has been al Qaeda. The success of the Surge has put the lie to the claim that al Qaeda was responsible for only a small part of the violence.

And, Zarqawi was in Iraq before the war, you doofus. Al Qaeda has been in Iraq since shortly after the invasion and they are responsible for the vast majority of major fatality car bombs and suicide bombs.

And idiot, they declared war on America in 1996 and if we weren't fighting them in Iraq we would be fighting them in Afstan and elsewhere.

And doofus, al Qaeda is taking a shit kicking in Iraq- both in terms of leaders and recruits killed and damage to their reputation. Virtually all of Iraq is aligned against al Qaeda and their reputation in the middle east is in the toilet.

This is as a result of their insane strategy of trying to win the war by killing innocent Iraqis. The only people they've impressed with this idiotic strategy is moronic leftists, like you.

"And according to our Generals they are a very small group today. "

Which generals? Not thise winning the war. Read MNF-Iraq, you retard.

"Our invasion gave the extemists an opportunity beyond their wildest dreams."

Sure, it's been an opportunity to be decimated and to learn that Black Hawk Down and Vietnam are not representative of America- unless the Donkeys are in power. You mindlessly repeat a stupid liberal talking point. Sure, driving al Qaeda out of the haven in Afstan provided by their Islamic extremist hosts didn't bother them a bit but removing a Muslim-killing secular dictator has driven them to suicide bombings.

God you are stupid, harpo. Iraq was a diversion all right- for al Qaeda. It was al Qaeda that couldn't fight a two front war.

"In this endeavour they are supported by the vast majority of Iraqis."

"You have anything to back that up? I don't think so because it is false."

Back Talk and Roggio has been backing up this point for 2 years, dummy.

[jharp]

Terry,

It's better to remain silent and let folks think you are a fool than to to post and remove all doubt.

Peace to you. And trust me, the lefties are on the side of all Americans.

It's why we'd like to stop the soldiers from being killed in Iraq and stop the war from bankrupting the middle class.

[BobInStamford]

It's funny how the patriots are in 'shock and awe' that the brown people DARE to shoot back. Don't they know that the foreigners with the guns are there to HELP???

[Terry Gain]

It simply absurd to suggest that losing a battle (which is being won) will help win a war. Prematurely withdrawing from Iraq will not end the war al Qaeda declared on the United States in 1996, it will prolong it.

Clinton failed to respond to bin Laden's declaration of war and 9/11 was the result. 9/11 was good for the economy wasn't it?

The cost to the American economy of losing this battle will be far worse than the cost of winning it.

[BobInStamford]

I thoght that we ALREADY WON, Terry? Didn't the valiant liberators WIN? It has been 5 years, after all. No matter. On 1/21 of next year it will all be over. Maybe you can even have a parade or something. Would you like a parade with a marching band and people in uniforms and lots of flags, Terry? Surely, if you have a parade you've WON.

[Fred Beloit]

IslamoMoe says: "I could go into great length about "free will" and "shooting one's mouth off" and "taking a wide stance in public restrooms", but I'm sure you GOoPers are all very familiar with these things, having mastered at least two of the three."

Go right ahead, Moe, do "...go into great length..." It will be further evidence of your complete mastery by your emotions and sad lack of logic.

[templar knight]

Hey, Boob, hate to break it to you, boy, but it won't be over on 1/21 next year, no matter who wins in November. Now, back to the basement and have a good cry, you'll feel better in the morning following your nightly bong session. And thank you for your lack of service. Amen.

[Fred Beloit]

Poor Boob is really getting dull, Temp. He needs some new material. Perhaps he should go to Al Franken for some new obnoxious and childish insults. Unless Al would refuse Boob because Al has become too Senatorial in a bid to be elected to that body.

[Terry Gain]

boob and harpo: the know-nothing twins.
